Creating a replication set using wild cards and direct rule entry
In some instances, data may need to be replicated that cannot be easily selected from the Management Console, or the
directories or files may not exist. For example, Storage Mirroring’s wild card capabilities and flexible file selection process
allows you to manually include all
.db files from a specific directory that is otherwise excluded. This flexibility is available
through the Replication Set Properties dialog box.
1. Right-click on the replication set icon and select Properties. The Replication Set Properties dialog box appears and lists
any rules that have been defined from the main Management Console window. Each definition will also display the
attributes associated with that replication set rule:
 Inc—Include indicates that the directory or wild card specifications are a part of the replication set. These files will
be sent to the target machine.
 Exc—Exclude indicates that the directory or wild card specifications are not a part of the replication set. These files
will not be sent to the target machine.
 Rec—Recursion indicates that the directory or wild card specifications are selected recursively. All files and
subdirectories under the defined path will be sent to the target machine.
2. From the Replication Set Properties dialog box, click Add.
3. Specify a path and, if necessary, the wild card or specific file name. Select the Include, Exclude, and/or Recursive
sub-directories
attributes to be applied to this definition and click OK to complete the definition of the rule.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add additional replication set rules.
5. After all additional replication set rules have been defined, exit the Replication Set Properties dialog box by clicking OK
or click
Cancel to exit the dialog box without saving the changes.
6. After defining the rules for this replication set, right-click the replication set icon and select Save. A saved replication set
icon will change from red to black.
